You see the title and wonder how can Aliens vs. Predator be a blast from the past. Well, it reminds me of my college days when my dorm buddies and I would gather in a dorm room and play a little game where we’d debate who would win if you threw two or more “bad-asses” into a room and locked it up.
The favorite match-up then was John Wayne vs. Clint Eastwood — we had a guy who was over-the-top on John Wayne so he could usually argue well that John Wayne would come out victorious.
But it makes me wonder now who the amusing match-ups would be. The obvious ones come from the political ranks and sometimes I think it’d be more fun to settle things that way. Can you imagine pay-per-view of Bush vs. Kerry?
I also think we should put our terrible criminals in a room and have them help offset the money that they cost us in bringing them to trial. So I’m calling for Scott Peterson vs. Mark Hacking.
And by the way, if your daughter ever wants to marry a guy with the last name “Hacking”, please consider whether that’s really a good idea.
I shouldn’t have to remind you that Peterson is innocent until proven guilty, so calling him a terrible criminal is a bit hasty. The Hacking dude is a nutcase with a very unfortunate name, and has confessed to the crime, so he’s more fair game.
